How to fix an empty database on startup (reported on Linux)

On Linux the database may be incomplete when you start the software for the first time. Symptom: everything empty in the Studio.This is due to the mdm.conf file that is not found by the MDM server. Workaround:- stop jboss- cd to your jboss home- mdm.conf is located in bin/: - strip off the ^M chars (ex: dos2unix bin/mdm.conf) - copy bin/mdm.conf into jboss home (cp bin/mdm.conf .)To make sure the database is reinitialized, you can delete everything under server/default/deploy/exist-1.4.0-rev10440.war/WEB-INF/data (except .DO_NOT_DELETE, obviously).Then start run.sh in jboss home again.On startup, the eXist database will restore the default files in /data, then MDM will 1) bootstrap its metadata 2) load the default models & containers.
